June 14th, 2015
Tim White June 13 at 3:03pm Hmmmmm..... I just got a question on spiritual gifts.

Hope McCullough June 11, 2015 Had a question for you all. I was assigned a question about whether it is wrong to kiss your child on the lips. Any opinions?

Got Questions in action

June 10th, 2015
James Turner June 8 at 10:49am I had a meeting at work this morning with a gentleman who helps veterans who are hard to employ (felons, homeless, etc) get jobs. In the midst of our conversation he was talking about how he likes to interject his faith into his work and in conversations with clients to share the gospel. Then he said that sometimes people ask him questions he doesn't know how to answer. When that happens he said he goes to GotQuestions.org for help answering questions because they always have easy to understand . . .

June 10th, 2015
John McPhaill June 7 at 10:37am And here is had, for me, a perplexity (which moves in one of my questions): If it is that sin in its concentrated definition "is the transgression of the law" (I John 3:4), how then can Paul so say "sin is not imputed when there is no law" (Romans 5:13)?

Jed Kramer June 5 at 1:03pm Parenting question: I just requested reassignment on a question dealing with the recent Duggar controversy since I was blissfully unaware of the issue until yesterday. I ended up watching a few interviews & read many online article comments. I have an 11yr old son and a 14yr old daughter. In light of Matthew 10:16, I want to raise them in such a way that they are both innocent and shrewd. It seems that our sexualized culture will likely heighten current teenagers' curios... See . . .

Sample Q&A – May 2015

June 2nd, 2015
SAMPLE Q&A FROM MAY: Question: Is it wrong to decline the service of a deacon if one aspires the office of an overseer instead? Answered by: Bill Stewart, who has been a volunteer with us since June 2003. Answer: Thank you for your question. 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent . . .
